Chapter 173
The two of them were separated, but they were still together.
Time passed slowly as Kuroko was joking around, and the chakra that maintained Kushina and Minato in the sealed space gradually began to dissipate. It looked like they couldn't hold on for too long.
Perhaps she felt that the moment of separation was coming, Kushina was very reluctant to hold on to Naruto and Sasuke. Minato didn't look much different, but a look of reluctance still appeared on his face.
Yuyi thought about it, turned around and gave Kuroko a look, and then disappeared in the sealed space.
Kuroko tutted his lips, but didn't say much, turned around and lay in the shadows and didn't speak again.
Naruto and Sasuke also felt that the time of separation was approaching. Naruto was held by Kushina, and the other hand was holding Minato. Sasuke's shy blush on his face faded, and he took the initiative to hold Kushina's arm.
The four people were still talking about the usual things. Naruto said how naughty he was usually, Kushina echoed and said well done, Minato told Naruto not to make others unhappy, and Sasuke agreed beside him.
At this moment, Minato suddenly remembered something and smiled at Kushina: "Speaking of which, Kushina, do you know? There is a girl who likes Naruto very much, and she confessed to Naruto, and Naruto accepted it."
Kushina's eyes lit up directly: "Who? What's her name?"
Naruto lowered his head shyly, and Sasuke raised the corners of his mouth: "It's a girl named Hyuga Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan."
Speaking of which, Sasuke was worried about the problem of Naruto and Hinata before. After all, although Hinata's strength is not as good as her sister, her own status is indeed not low. It is still a bit difficult for Naruto, a commoner, to marry Hinata.
But now he is not worried at all. Who is Naruto? The son of the Fourth Hokage, with this identity, the Hyuga clan should not consider whether Naruto is worthy of Hinata, but whether Hinata is worthy of Naruto.
To be honest, as long as Naruto's identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage is exposed, the direction of the entire Konoha will change instantly.
"The Hyuga clan." Kushina seemed a little embarrassed. She turned to look at Minato. "Minato, when we were still alive, who was the head of the Hyuga clan?"
"It was Lord Hiashi." Minato's face was also a little helpless. After all, Hiashi's personality... How to say it, few people in their generation can stand it. Uchiha Fugaku has a better personality than Hiashi.
"It's him." Kushina remembered it, and then she had a headache.
She sighed softly and looked at Naruto: "What about now?"
Naruto did not answer, and Sasuke said beside him: "The current head of the Hyuga clan is still Lord Hyuga Hiashi. I met him last time when everyone was taking the exam."
Naruto's heart skipped a beat and he looked at his parents carefully: "Dad and Mom, our family doesn't have any grudges against the Hyuga clan, right?"
"That's not the case." Kushina sighed, "But Lord Hiashi's character is really bad. I get a headache when I think of him as my future in-law. He shouldn't make things difficult for Naruto, right?"
"No, Lord Hiashi still knows how to distinguish between public and private." Minato shook his head.
Although Hyuga Hiashi's character is indeed a bit bad, he is really a person who can distinguish between public and private. It is precisely because of this that Minato got along well with the Hyuga clan when he was still alive.
It's just that when Minato and the Uchiha clan had a good relationship, Hyuga Hiashi would give him a cold shoulder.
But in fact, this person is still very good.
Well... maybe anyway.
Naruto wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, just scratched his head.
Kushina noticed Naruto's expression and hurriedly smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Naruto, we are just not used to getting along with Master Hiashi, not that we don't like that little girl, so you can chase her boldly, your mother will support you 100%!"
It's better to chase the girl while she is still young like Minato, so that the relationship will be better in the future.
Why do I feel like I'm talking about myself?
Kushina put aside the strange thoughts in her mind and looked at Naruto with stars in her eyes: "Tell me about your story about that girl?"
"I think it's okay." Minato agreed seriously.
"+1," Sasuke knew it, but he wanted to hear the version from Naruto's mouth.
Naruto's face turned red in an instant, he hesitated and didn't know how to start, so he could only shyly lower his head and play with his fingers.
This action is exactly the same as Hinata's.
No
However, just as Kushina and Minato were waiting for the follow-up with smiles on their faces, a light suddenly emanated from their bodies, which was a sign of chakra dissipation.
The two were stunned and looked at each other subconsciously.
Minato smiled and nodded to Kushina.
Kushina also understood. She sighed secretly, and let go of the hands holding Naruto and Sasuke with a smile, and said with a playful expression: "It's a pity, it seems that I can only wait until next time for mom to hear your story."
Naruto and Sasuke were both stunned on the spot, looking at the two with their mouths open.
Kushina put her hands on their heads and gently stroked them, and said with a very indifferent smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as our hearts are connected, no matter how far apart we are, our love for you will be conveyed to you."
"But..." Naruto wanted to say something, but Minato smiled and shook his head, "Naruto, we will meet again, maybe in the distant future, maybe tomorrow, believe me."
Naruto was silent, his face full of sadness.
Sasuke looked at Naruto, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Minato and Kushina: "Leave Naruto to me, I will protect him until the day you meet again."
"Thank you." Minato put his hand on Sasuke's head with a sunny smile, "Maybe you will see us again."
When he said this, Minato's expression was very interesting.
Kushina also showed a meaningful expression: "See you in the future... no, see you in the past."
The light on the two people became more and more obvious, and with the chakra scattered, their bodies began to become transparent.
Minato came to Kushina, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and looked at his wife in front of him with a smile: "Kushina, do you have anything else to say to Naruto and Sasuke?"
Kushina leaned in Minato's arms, looked at Naruto and Sasuke, and said with a smile: "I said it last time, this time you do it."
"Well..." Minato thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Naruto..."
A tear slid down the corner of Naruto's eyes, and he looked at the two of them blankly: "I'm..."
Minato's smile became warm, like the warm sun in winter shining on people's hearts: "What I want to say is the same as your nagging mother."
I love you.
Naruto stood there in a trance, as if he saw that riotous night, a couple stood in front of the child, their chests pierced by claws, but their faces looked at their children with smiles.
They said... to grow up well.
They said... don't be picky about food.
They said... study ninjutsu well.
When you grow up, you will meet many people. You don't have to have many friends, but you can trust those few people.
Being picky about food is actually not a big deal, but since mom and dad are not around, you must eat nutritiously so that you can grow up to be a man.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t learn ninjutsu, because mom is also stupid. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Even if you can’t learn well, don’t be discouraged.
And… and… there are so many more things that I want to tell Naruto in person. There are really many things… I want to teach you step by step, and I really want to be with you all the time…
Naruto, you will encounter a lot of pain and suffering in the future. You must stick to yourself and stick to the belief of realizing your dreams.
I’m sorry… Minato… I’m the only one saying this…
It’s okay, Kushina…
Naruto, what dad wants to say is the same as this nagging mom…
I love you.
Naruto trembled and lowered his head, tears fell down his face to the ground, splashing water, and ripples disturbed the reflections of several people, and also disturbed their hearts.
The next second, Naruto wiped his face suddenly, wiped away all the tears and sadness, smiled with a tear-stained face, and gave Minato and Kushina a thumbs up: "Although I don't have many friends, everyone trusts me like Sasuke."
"I like to eat ramen, but sometimes I cook by myself. Later, the food is not delicious, but I will make myself full."
"I am a stupid person. I can't learn many ninjutsu. I have mastered my father's Rasengan, but I always fail to master the Flying Thunder God Technique. I am learning my mother's Diamond Seal. I believe I will learn it soon."
"I have grown up to be a man now. The lustful sage also praised me for my strong strength. I defeated the Jinchuriki of Shukaku, faced Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, and helped the princess of the Snow Country to regain the Snow Country."
"My dream is to become a Hokage, a ninja who surpasses all the previous Hokage. I will protect the village and the people I care about."
"So, don't worry, I... am growing up well and becoming your
The man we expect."
Naruto sobbed and yelled at the two of them: "I... can be your child, it's really... great!"
"Naruto... you are our child, it's really great." Minato and Kushina smiled and disappeared on the spot.
The light of chakra slowly dissipated, and only Naruto was left standing there staring blankly in front of him.
Sasuke walked forward, put his right hand on Naruto's shoulder, and said nothing.
Kurama opened his eyes, looked at the seal that disappeared in front of him and the two chakras that dispersed, took a breath, and then shook his head slowly.
Forget it, for the sake of Naruto, Minato, Kushina, I forgive you two for what you did to me.
Really, I hate this kind of life and death, but you have to play it in front of me.
There's sand in my eyes, bastard.
